Find NetBIOS names and shares

August 23, 2005

SoftPerfect Network Scanner - 2.5 describes itself as a “free multithreaded IP/SNMP/NetBIOS scanner.”

What that means is that it will look on your local network for computers, tell you their names (NetBIOS), their MAC address, their IP, and what (if anything) they are sharing (folders, printers, etc).

Free, Windows only.

Anyone know of a similar Mac program? I use WakeOnLAN to get some of this (name, IP, MAC) but it doesn’t tell met about shared folders/printers.
